How to store control overrides made in the new input system to the PlayerPrefs and load it again.

It got introduced with c# 7.0
One of the advantages is to have methods return multiple values /wo using out parameters.Code examples ⬇️#unitytips #gamedev #coding pic.twitter.com/lM771OgvCu

#UnityTips More #optimization tips:
The #unity3d profiler can be controlled via script with the profiler class.
